Introduction

The centralindex Python module allows developers to start using the Central Index API with minimal code. The Central Index is a global data exchange, with a simple REST/JSON api.

Hello World

You'll need to put the CentralIndex.py file alongside your code.

Then your first script could look something like:

import CentralIndex
from CentralIndex import *

ci = CentralIndex('<insert api key here>')
print ci.getEntity('379236608286720')
